ABC is sticking with a winning combination for the 2026 Academy Awards, with #ConanOBrien returning as host alongside producers #RajKapoor and #KatyMullan and producers #JefRoss and #MikeSweeney. It’s the second in a row for O’Brien, Ross and Sweeney, and third in a row for Kapoor and Mullan. The 98th Oscars ceremony will air on ABC Sunday, March 15, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern (4:00 p.m. Pacific). “The only reason I’m hosting ‘The Oscars’ next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech,” O’Brien said Monday. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
